LONDON — Seven British men accused of planning Al Qaeda-linked terrorist attacks in Britain discussed several possible targets including a big nightclub in London, and one of them had allegedly tried to obtain what he called an "atomic bomb," a prosecutor told a court today.

David Waters, outlining the prosecution case for a second day, said nothing came of the group's interest in such a weapon.

He said defendant Salahuddin Amin had been asked by an acquaintance in Britain to contact a man named Abu Annis about obtaining a radioisotope bomb.

"Amin did so via the Internet and Abu Annis said they had made contact with the Russian mafia in Belgium and from the mafia they were trying to buy this bomb," Waters said.

"Amin told the police in an interview that he didn't believe this could be genuine. In his own words, he didn't think it was likely `that you can go and pick an atomic bomb up and use it'."
